The Dail is be recalled as pressure mounts on EU Commissioner Phil Hogan

The Taoiseach Micheal Martin, Tanaiste Leo Varadkar and Minister Eamon Ryan have agreed that the Dail should be recalled following the reopening of schools.

The Taoiseach will make this request to the Ceann Comhairle on Monday.

It follows calls for the EU Commissioner Phil Hogan to consider his position.

Micheal Martin and Leo Varadkar say his apology came late for attending an Oireachtas Golf Society event in County Galway, which broke Covid 19 guidelines.

They say he still needs to give a full account and explanation of his actions.
